Carolyn Robb's Chocolate ‘Fridge-cake’
For years Carolyn Robb served as the chef to the royal family in Britain. Check out some of her favorite recipes!
Ingredients
- 1lb butter
- 9oz golden syrup (You could use a thick, mild honey instead)
- 2 oz dark cocoa powder
- 2 oz drinking chocolate powder
- 1 ¼ lb crushed biscuits (Graham crackers)
- 5oz soft figs – in a chunky dice (or soft dates)
- 6oz mixed nuts – (I use pistachios, pecans and toasted almonds- You can substitute the nuts with chopped up ‘Mars bars’ or ‘Twix’ bars– this definitely appeals to the younger palate more than nuts!)
Yields:
Preparation
Melt the butter, honey and chocolate powders in a heavy based pan.
Remove from heat and add the figs and the crushed biscuits.
Lastly add the nuts or chopped up chocolate bars
Press into a tin lined with baking parchment either a 2lb loaf tin, or an 8’ round or an 8 x 8’ square.
Leave to cool, then cover and refrigerate. When firm can be topped with melted chocolate.
Cut into slices, wedges or squares – depending on the tin used.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
